Vistra Corporation (VST) remains a “buy” recommendation for investors seeking capital appreciation due to:
– Acquisition of significant nuclear power generation
– Low natural gas prices
– Texas population growth
– Oilfield electrification
– AI prospects for electricity demand growth
– Crypto mining
– Share buybacks
However, Vistra’s dividend yield is only 1.3%, making it unsuitable for dividend hunters. Despite its stock price increase, concerns remain regarding high leverage and rising debt costs.
